Description
This is the lineart to a new character i have been working on. I have decided to start designing characters around rare animals or rare color variations to animals. This guy is based off of the King Cheetah. The king cheetah is a beautiful animal, this is what they look like: [link]His name is Keng, which is pronounced like fang but with a K. He weilds a jumbiya which is a dagger of middle eastern descent, cheetahs were once common in the middle east until hunted out of the area. I will have more info on this character once he is finished.
I have already invited several friends to create their own character inspired by a rare animal or color variation. The only rules are that they must still be human, and their weapon/weapons have to make sense with the animal in mind. I chose a dagger because of its speed and elegance like that of a cheetah. It would be awesome to see more people start up designing their rare animal characters. So feel free

Weapons arent exactly required, but you should challenge yourself. If you need help with weapon or outfit design im more than willing to help

cool... liked his clothes
nice marks on his shoulder
nice work.
i think it would be more a cheetah weapon if instead of one, he used twin daggers, it would give the idea of agility and you would still have an elegant weapon...
see ya

Yeah i thought about dial daggers, but then i kinda just liked the look of one small weapon. He can be quicker with one i think.

you're right!
anyways, he's really cool!

Awesome picture and idea. Question though, does it have to be a real animal or could it be something like, say, a phoenix?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah it has to be a real animal. It might be cool to do a mythological animal version of this project in the futre though.

I love that scarf! XD
I was flicking through some sites on extinct animals and wandered into the fish section and scared myself shitless.-.-....terrified of deep sea fish. XD
But I think I might give this a go, it sounds really fun! ^^...
